New Build and Questions (Update, new questions)
Hey Guys,
I haven't built a new, higher end computer for a few years now (4-5). It kinda took a back burner while I was grinding through some years of college. Fortunately, I've saved up some for a new rig and have decided to build me a new computer.
So far, this is what I've came up with, probably using most of my budget:
CPU: i7 920 Nehalem
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202
GPU: VGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130434
MoBo: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 (Open Box)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131365R
PSU: Rosewill RBR750-M 750W, ATX12V
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182186
RAM: OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227365
HDD: Black Caviar 640 GB Sata 3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218
Case:

Third Party Heat-sink:

I'm also picking up a new monitor to make better use out of the build. My main concerns are these:
I want to play new and upcoming games rather well with this build.
Down the line, in a couple of months maybe, get another 260 for SLI. The question here is the PSU beefy enough to hand this.
I also will be overclocking some.
I was wondering if I could get your comments/concerns on this. I thank you for the help. I plan to buy this by next week, two weeks latest.
